It's not quite clear what you are looking for. Note that "format" does not 
apply to the db.entry_type table but to reference fields in other tables 
that reference this table.

You can access the "format" attribute via db.entry_type._format, so, you 
could do:

formatted_record = db.entry_type._format % db.entry_type(id)

Of course, is "format" is a function rather than a format string, you would 
do:

formatted_record = db.entry_type._format(db.entry_type(id))
